HOOKED ON SCIENCE
A hook is any short instructional activity that gets students more interested or engaged during a lesson. Usually, hooks are used to introduce a lesson, but they can be used at any point. Hooking strategies include mysteries, questions, practical work, new technologies and anything that appears novel to TEN THINGS THAT AFFECT OUR CLIMATE 6. Warming can disrupt ocean currents. Ocean currents and wind systems are important components of the climate system. As a result of differential heating, whereby the equator is hotter than the Earth’s poles, convection currents in the oceans and the atmosphere move thermal energy towards the poles.

A FRESH LOOK AT LIGHT: BUILD YOUR OWN SPECTROMETER With a little help from Mark Tiele Westra, your very own spectrometer! Time to explore the delights of colour, hidden in the most prosaic of objects. White light is not actually white – it consists of many different colours. The composition of light – its spectrum – is studied by a device called a spectrometer. WHICH LAUNDRY ENZYMES WORK BEST? You should test each of the four enzymes separately (e.g. A only, B only, C only, D only), and also create two additional biological detergents by mixing enzymes together (e.g. A and B, or B and C).

TEACHING ON ICE: AN EDUCATIONAL EXPEDITION TO ANTARCTICA On 3 November 2007, four teachers from the UK will head to the Ellsworth Mountains of Antarctica to camp for four weeks. The aim of the expedition is to inspire geography and science students with live reports from the ice and to conduct research projects, the results of which will be turned into exciting and innovative teaching resources.SCIENCE IN SCHOOL

This leads to the identification of four main blood types: A, B, AB (when both antigens are present) and O (when neither antigen is present). A third important blood antigen is the Rhesus (Rh) factor, or D antigen.

A hook is any short instructional activity that gets students more interested or engaged during a lesson. Usually, hooks are used to introduce a lesson, but they can be used at any point. Hooking strategies include mysteries, questions, practical work, new technologies and anything that appears novel to TEN THINGS THAT AFFECT OUR CLIMATE 6. Warming can disrupt ocean currents. Ocean currents and wind systems are important components of the climate system. As a result of differential heating, whereby the equator is hotter than the Earth’s poles, convection currents in the oceans and the atmosphere move thermal energy towards the poles.BEAT THE FLOOD
Beat the Flood. Imagine living with the danger that your home could be flooded at any time. This challenge will enable pupils aged 7–14 to discover the impact that flooding has on people’s lives, and how science and technology can mitigate its effects and help find potential solutions. Image courtesy of HOW EFFECTIVE IS YOUR SUNSCREEN? Leave the beaker inside the water bath. In a 50 ml beaker, mix the zinc oxide with liquid paraffin in a ratio of 5:4, i.e. 2 g of zinc oxide to 2 ml (1.6 g) of paraffin. In a separate 50 ml beaker, measure out 4.1 g of the base cream. Add 0.9 g of zinc oxide/paraffin paste and mix them with a glass rod until combined. WIND AND RAIN: METEOROLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM Aims. Our aim was to extend the high-school study of thermodynamics to Earth’s most important gaseous mixture: the atmosphere. So we devised an activity where students used real data from a weather station to investigate how temperature and pressure interact in Earth’s atmosphere, and how these variables are correlated with other important physical quantities (relative humidity, dew A FRESH LOOK AT LIGHT: BUILD YOUR OWN SPECTROMETER With a little help from Mark Tiele Westra, your very own spectrometer! Time to explore the delights of colour, hidden in the most prosaic of objects. White light is not actually white – it consists of many different colours. The composition of light – its spectrum – is studied by a device called a spectrometer. MONASTIC MEDICINE: MEDIEVAL HERBALISM MEETS MODERN SCIENCE As Dr Mayer explains: “In the early Middle Ages there was not much literature here in Europe, and Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) was the most important antique author for monastery medicine. Then in the 11 th century, they started to translate Arabic texts into Latin, and SELF-HEALING AIRCRAFT WINGS: A DREAM OR A POSSIBILITY Duncan Wass, Tim Harrison. Taking inspiration from nature’s amazing ability to heal wounds, this biology-inspired technology could create aircraft wings that fix themselves.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND A COVID-19 TEST RESULT A positive result for the current COVID-19 PCR/viral RNA tests has more weight than a negative test because of the test’s high specificity but lower sensitivity. If your COVID-19 test comes back positive, then you can be very confident that you do have COVID-19.

RESPIRATION: MAKING USE OF MICROORGANISMS The basic concepts of aerobic and anaerobic respiration in microbes can be illustrated by the short TED-Ed video below. Using fluffy bread, holey Swiss cheese and sour vinegar as examples, students can understand how the use of microorganisms, and the way in which they respire, results in these distinctive foods. WHAT IS CHEMILUMINESCENCE? The release of a photon of light from a molecule of luminol is a fairly complex, multi-stage process. In a basic (alkaline) solution, luminol exists in equilibrium with its anion, which bears a charge of -2.The anion can exist in two forms (or tautomers), with the two negative charges delocalised on either the oxygens (the enol-form) or on the nitrogens (the ketol-form; see Figure 3, below).
